Default Terrific Holiday Weekend deal on DRF's newest 'Champions'


This is pretty irresistable... $29.95 (instead of $49.95), and they'll throw in the 2012 Calendar.

This weekend only according to their Email blast. If you have prior 'Champions', you know how great it is, and if you've never had one before, you'll love it... PP's of every Champion from the last 115 years.

I went to buy but then saw the order processing fee and $9 plus for shipping brought this offer back to over $41. Not quite the deal advertised.

The book by itself weighs 4#. Standard handling is $2.50 and the minimum the postage could be is $5.20 and there's likely a built in cushion of a couple dollars to allow for regions westward. I can't imagine what you think it should cost to ship a package, but as someone who ships out a lot of stuff, $9 for the expedition makes sense.

I'll be in when they start selling addendums. I already have two four pound books. I don't need another that is 3.8 pounds the same thing I already have.
